Stephen Redden wrote on 12/03/15This was my 1st experience of ordering Turkish Lira online as the rates advertised were higher than the usual high street shops and I must say that the companies service was first class. Delivery in the form of various note denominations was received within 2 days which was highly appreciated.. I have since used their service again ordering Euros this time and the transaction proved to be exactly the same as my first experience proving that the company is reliable and my original experience was not a one off. I am prepared to rate their service as 100% and would recommend them to anyone Read more

Ordered Friday so asked for delivery Monday - the money arrived Saturday morning - and nice crispy Dom. Rep. peso notes they were. The mad bit - the blurb that accompanied the money revealed that the forex transaction was done by - yep you guessed it " Moneycorp". How weird is that? I recommend Telegraph Travel - easy to do business with. Read more

Jamie wrote on 10/03/15To keep it short my Travelex Cash Passport wouldn't work in any ATM in Brussels so I had to use my own bank card incurring costs. I had loaded the Cash Passport with 500 euros which I had no access to. When I returned to England I asked if they could refund the money into my bank account at the same rate I purchased it for. They refused and offered to buy it back for around £300 which was almost £100 less than what I had bought it for just a few days earlier! After much haggling the best they could offer me was £370, still leaving me £30 out of pocket. I have since cut up my card and now use Ukash, much better. I will never use Travelex again. Read more

Unhappy Customers wrote on 15/10/14Just been down the local RBS branch to wire-transfer Euros abroad. The quote I received was ridiculous. Compared to actual FX market, the first quote would have ripped me off by 300, upon challenging, they got a "live" quote which was still 200 Sterling away from where the market is trading. Reminds one of "The Sting" with Paul Newman, a movie about horse racing and bucket shops. Read more

Ray wrote on 01/03/12There is no point writing about your experience down at your local RBS on this site. These reviews should be for the web based service only. You get a better rate of exchange and most currency is held, including Malaysian currency! Instructions are easy to follow. I dont think that the rates are very good compared to other web based currency exchange sites and only give them 3 stars for that reason only. Read more

Buy Canadian Dollars Online

If you're travelling to Canada soon you'll want to get the best deal on your Canadian Dollars. Our free comparison service compares the best Canadian Dollar rates from the biggest currency suppliers in the UK so you can see at a glance who is offering the top deals. We are currently comparing 23 suppliers selling Canadian Dollars in the UK with exchange rates ranging from 1.7700 to 1.8450.

But wait, it gets better! Many of the top suppliers listed above offer us exclusive exchange rates that are better than any other website which means if you order through us you could save even more money. We are so confident that you won't find better Canadian Dollar exchange rates on any other UK website that we challenge you to let us know if you find a better deal!

The Canadian Dollar is the official unit of currency in Canada, and the unofficial currency of Saint Pierre and Miquelon – a small group of French islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. It carries the International Standard Currency Code: CAD, and is represented by the dollar sign ($) or C$ to distinguish it from other dollar currencies. The Canadian Dollar currently ranks 6th in the list of most-traded currencies in the world, up from 7th last year.

Canadian monetary policy is managed by the Bank of Canada based in Ottawa, Ontario. They are responsible for maintaining the value of the Canadian Dollar, managing the flow of money, and promoting a sound financial system within Canada. Banknotes are printed under contract by the Canadian Bank Note Company (also based in Ottawa), and coins are minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

In recent times, the Canadian Dollar has begun to appreciate in value against other currencies, partly due to the rising price of oil which is a major export commodity for Canada. It’s stabilisation along with a strong Canadian economy has earned the Canadian Dollar the status of a benchmark currency which means it is kept in reserves by governments around the world along with US Dollars, Euros, and British Pounds.

As a tourist destination Canada is very safe but you should still take some simple precautions. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) issue travel advice specifically for British tourists visiting Canada under their “Know Before You Go” campaign and we recommend you check the latest advice here before you travel.

The average British traveller takes about £920 (1520CAD based upon data from 1st August to 31st October 2013) with them when visting Canada.

The only official user is Canada but it is also accepted in Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
